I never thought moving Rondo and Green for anything but a legit top-5 player was a good idea, and I still don't. I see it like this. Let's say they both become free agents next year. Both of those guys would be near the top of the list for FA pickups by most teams in the league. Who are you going to replace those guys with? How does getting rid of your good players improve the team? Personally, I have no faith in the lottery balls at this point.
By the way, I would love to revisit that Irving-for-Rondo pipe dream..
